Knox Named CGASPORTS.COM Athlete of the Week

Dec 09, 2013

Junior Dani Knox has been named the CGASPORTS.com Athlete of the
Week as the Bears, off the best start in school history, won a pair
of road games to improve to 6-0 overall and 4-0 in the New England
Women’s and Men’s Athletic Conference (NEWMAC).

Knox, who came off the bench in both games last week, averaged a
double-double last week. She scored in double figures in both games
marking the first time she recorded back-to-back double figure
scoring games since the second and third games of her career in the
2011-12 season.

She had ten points and a career-high tying 12 rebounds to record
the third double-double of her career in a 68-57 win at Clark on
Wednesday before scoring ten points and grabbing eight rebounds in
a 67-64 win at Albertus Magnus on Saturday.

Knox shot 43.6 percent from the floor (7-16) and made six of seven
from the foul line during the week. She also averaged three assists
and 1.5 steals per game last week.

She is averaging 8.5 points, 7.7 rebounds and shooting 46.8
percent from the floor, which is ninth in the conference and she is
the only player in the top 30 in the conference in field goal
percentage that has not made a start this season.

Coast Guard leads the NEWMAC in both field goal percentage (42.6)
and 3-point field goal percentage (36.7) this season as the Bears
70.5 points per game is second best in the conference.

The Bears are back in action on Tuesday night when they play close
out first semester play at Connecticut College at 6 p.m.
